been on since power up or reset, terminal ignores all print requests. When DTR from
printer is on, DSR indicates printer status. If DTR turns off, terminal assumes that
printer cannot receive characters. If DTR turns on again, print operation completes.</TD>

control characters. When the printer's DTR is off, data transmission stops even if the
printer interface option receives XON. When the printer's DTR goes from off to on, the
terminal assumes that the XON condition is indicated.</P></TD>
